He's slightly less pathetic than he was a few years back, but it's not good, at all. He's totally winded, doesn't sing half the lyrics; you get a lot of "heys" and "whoas" mixed in with him holding the mic out toward the crowd. The band is tight, but are super "nu metal" sounding with really bad, modern sounding amps, bad effects and so on. I would never waste my money on seeing him again.

I don't remember that, exactly. Def don't remember farewell shows. He has, several times over the past 20 years, said he's going to stop making metal/heavy music and concentrate on other stuff musically and his comics and acting. But yeah, like the other dude said, probably needs the added cash flow. He probably COULD live on what he has, but, let's be honest, if your job is going on stage for 90 mins a night, 40-50 times a year, and you can buy a mercedes with cash when you get home, why the fuck not??
